Staff reports emergency balances, says board seeking $6 million in appropriations
Summary
A committee staffer reported remaining emergency balances across the board's three appropriations (the transcript records an unclear numeric figure) and said the board is seeking $4 million in House Bill 2 plus a $2 million special appropriation, for a $6 million total request.
Ashley, a staff member, reported on the board's emergency balances across its three appropriations and said those balances reside in the operating reserve. The transcript records a numeric figure for the remaining balance that is garbled; staff did not read a clearly verifiable dollar amount at the meeting.
Ashley told the Finance and Administration committee that House Bill 2 includes $4 million for the next fiscal year and that the board is seeking an additional $2 million in a special appropriation, describing the combined request as $6 million. When a committee member asked for confirmation, Ashley replied, "It's it's 6 million, Mr. Chair. Yes."
Committee members did not vote on the funding request during the meeting. Staff indicated there are additional requests expected between now and the end of the fiscal year and will provide follow-up details as needed.
